Putting the Treat in Trick-or-Treat 9 homemade Halloween goodies to try this week

You’ve purchased their costumes and trick-or-treat bags, picked up your mini Milky Way bars and decorated your front lawn like a scene out of The Walking Dead. What’s left? Baking, of course! Continue the Halloween theme with these nine recipes from top bloggers.

Bake a chocolate cake and decorate it to match the season. You’ll need black Twizzlers, orange and yellow M&M’s or any other colorful candy. I love that blogger Abeer admits that when she’s super busy, she opts for a boxed mix instead of making something from scratch. (She suggests you try Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge, FYI).

Supplies: Candy!!! Head over to the CandyWarehouse.com, and search for all your favorites. You can even sort by color.

These are adorable and delicious. Bake up your favorite decadent chocolate cupcake recipe, and top it with an Italian buttercream frosting in ghostly form.

Supplies: You’ll need a pastry bag with at least a #7 tip, says Juliette, who runs this blog with her mom, Susan. Score all sorts of decorating gear affordably over at The Webstaurant Store, including this #7 Pastry Tube (99 cents), which fits the Alteco Large Coupler (91 cents). Get cupcake wrappers ($2.09–$2.29) with spiders, pumpkins, ghosts, bats and more over at Wilton.

Are you baking for people who don’t eat milk, eggs or wheat? Solve your cooking challenges in one fell swoop with these rich and flavorful vegan pumpkin cupcakes topped with a vegan cinnamon buttercream.
